CertainTeed Construction in Fontana, CA | Bradford Remodeling
We provide independent CertainTeed roof installation, repair, and replacement across Fontana from our operation here at Bradford Remodeling. The difference: we install and repair CertainTeed Landmark and Presidential Shake systems specifically for Fontana’s high-wind corridor along Cajon Pass and the 100°F summers that cook shingles from June through September. If your CertainTeed roof is losing granules or lifting at the edges, call (903) 568-7222 for a written estimate. We’re not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, and we will say so plainly.
Why Fontana Residents Choose Us for CertainTeed Service
Most crews in Fontana can nail shingles. Few actually understand what CertainTeed products do in this specific climate. Curtis Lane, our owner, trained in construction technology at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent the better part of two decades learning why roofs fail in the Inland Empire. His take: straight number, real scope, no surprises at the punch list. That’s how we run every CertainTeed job.
We stay current on CertainTeed’s installation specs because the manufacturer’s own documentation matters when a warranty claim comes up. We stock CertainTeed OEM shingles and underlayments locally for like-for-like repairs, and we use quality aftermarket ridge vents and flashing that meet or exceed builder specs. As an independent contractor, we’re free to tell you when a localized repair is smarter than a full replacement, and we never push a reroof if your CertainTeed system still has years of service left. We’re part of the Garrison Partners family since 2004, and every job gets The Garrison Standard: a written price, a written guarantee, and a clean site at close. You can learn more about our full CertainTeed sales & service capabilities and how we run jobs.

Common CertainTeed Construction Problems We Solve in Fontana
- Landmark granule loss from UV exposure. Fontana gets weeks of 100°F-plus heat every summer, and that ultraviolet load strips the mineral granules that shield the asphalt. You’ll see bare patches on south-facing slopes first. We match the shingle color and replace damaged courses before the fiberglass mat starts to break down.
- Presidential Shake tab cracking. Those thick laminated tabs look great, but they flex with every thermal cycle. Hot days and cool nights in Fontana make the adhesive strip fatigue. The tabs crack at the nail line, then wind gets underneath. We inspect tab integrity on every Presidential Shake roof we touch.
- WinterGuard underlayment wrinkling. In an unventilated Fontana attic, temperatures can spike above 140°F. The self-sealing asphalt on WinterGuard can soften, wrinkle, and lose adhesion at the laps. We correct the ventilation first, then re-secure or replace the underlayment.
- AirRenew gypsum board sag. Garages and kitchens in Fontana take the brunt of monsoon-season humidity that sneaks up the Cajon Pass. AirRenew without proper air movement will absorb that moisture and sag at the fasteners. We check the venting and framing before we recommend drywall replacement.
- Wind-lifted Landmark shingles near the pass. Santa Ana winds through the Cajon Pass corridor routinely exceed 40 mph. Shingles nailed with a four-nail pattern can hinge upward and tear. We use a six-nail pattern and enhanced starter strips on every wind-facing slope in Fontana.
Those are the most common failures we see across Fontana. Each one has a straightforward fix when caught early. Our service across Fontana service area covers the whole city, from Sierra Lakes to Southridge.
CertainTeed Service in Fontana: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Here is the thing most out-of-town roofers miss about Fontana, and it matters more than any product spec. Fontana sits directly in the high-wind zone that funnels down the Cajon Pass corridor. Santa Ana winds regularly gust beyond 40 mph here, and they come from the northeast, which is a direction many Fontana subdivisions were not sited to shelter. We have seen improperly nailed CertainTeed Landmark shingles lift on the windward slope, hinge at the nail line, and peel back in sheets. That does not happen with the same frequency with Certainteed service in Rancho Cucamonga, which sits further from the pass and catches less of that funneled wind. What it means for your CertainTeed roof: the nail pattern is the first thing we check on any Fontana job. Six nails per shingle on wind-facing slopes, enhanced starter strips at the eaves, and hand-sealing at the rake edges. That is how we meet local wind ratings, and that is the difference between a roof that gets through a Santa Ana event and one that ends up in a neighbor’s yard. We have pulled damaged shingles off houses in the Sierra Lakes neighborhood where the original install simply did not account for the wind corridor. In Fontana, CertainTeed’s wind warranty language matters, but the fastening pattern matters more.
CertainTeed Models & Products We Service in Fontana
We install, repair, and replace the CertainTeed systems that are common across Fontana’s housing stock. Landmark shingles are the workhorse, popular with production builders and resale projects. Presidential Shake gives you that dimensional cedar look without the fire risk, and we see it on higher-end homes in Sierra Lakes and around Summit Heights. WinterGuard underlayment goes under tile and metal roofs where ice damming is not the concern but wind-driven rain at the eaves is. And we work with AirRenew gypsum board in garages and kitchens, though we always check the room’s ventilation before specifying it.
On repairs, we stock CertainTeed OEM shingles and underlayments in our local inventory so we can match color and lot where it matters. For ridge vents, flashing, and boots, we use quality aftermarket pieces that meet or exceed the original spec. That keeps the system consistent without paying a name-brand markup on every accessory.

Your actual number depends on roof size, pitch, number of stories, and what we find under the old shingles. A repair that is localized granule loss on a 1,200-square-foot single-story runs on the lower end. A full replacement with tear-off, new decking, Landmark shingles, and WinterGuard runs toward the mid-upper range. Every quote from Bradford Remodeling is a written line-item price before work starts, and that number does not move at the door.

FAQs – CertainTeed Construction in Fontana
If the granule loss or damage is confined to one slope or a few courses, and the shingles are not flexing, cracking, or lifting at the nail line, a localized repair makes sense. We look at the age of the roof, the condition of the fiberglass mat, and whether the damage is uniform or isolated. If your Landmark roof has years of service left, we’ll say so and quote a repair, not a replacement. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll inspect it for free.
Yes. We use a six-nail pattern on wind-facing slopes, enhanced starter strips at the eaves, and hand-sealing at rake edges for every CertainTeed installation we do in Fontana. Those methods are what the Cajon Pass wind corridor demands. We pull permits, pass city inspections, and put the methods in the written scope.
We put WinterGuard under tile in Fontana, not for ice damming but because the self-sealing asphalt protects against wind-driven rain at the eaves and valleys. Under concrete or clay tile, the underlayment is the actual water barrier, and Fontana’s Santa Ana winds push rain sideways. WinterGuard makes sense here. Call (903) 568-7222 if you want a specific underlayment quote for your tile roof.
Storm damage from high winds is a regular call for us in Fontana, mostly after Santa Ana events come through the pass. We can usually get a crew out fast, tarp what needs tarping, and quote the repair. Temporary repairs and full wind-damage fixes are both part of our San Bernardino Certainteed service. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll send someone.
Fontana’s 100°F-plus summers and intense UV stripgranules off the asphalt and accelerate the curing process that makes shingles brittle. A roof in Fontana will age faster than an identical roof in a cooler coastal city. That’s why we check attic ventilation on every job. A hot attic is what turns a 25-year shingle into a 15-year shingle. The fix is usually ridge vents or additional intake, but it has to be sized properly. We will show you the math. Call (903) 568-7222 to schedule a roof inspection.
